Leeds United have been knocked out of the FA Cup this afternoon.
The Premier League club have suffered a 3-0 loss at the hands of Crawley Town away from home in the third round of the FA Cup.
Leeds headed into the match against the League Two club at Broadfield Stadium as favourites, but Marcelo Bielsa’s side could not win and have failed to progress to the fourth round of the competition yet again.
Nick Tsaroulla put the home team in the lead in the 50th minute, Ashley Nadesan made it 2-0 just three minutes later, and Jordan Tunnicliffe wrapped up the scoring in the 70th minute.
Former Leeds striker Noel Whelan was following the match for BBC Radio Leeds, and he has given his take on the embarrassing loss for Leeds.
Whelan said on BBC Radio Leeds at full time (3:23pm, January 10, 2021): “End of the day, we were not good enough by a long shot. I said you have got to fight, I said you have got to battle against teams like this down at the bottom. We have shown over the past three seasons we are incapable of doing that, and I am sick and tired of it.”
Over the course of the 90 minutes on Sunday afternoon, hosts Crawley had 29% of the possession, took 15 shots of which six were on target, and earned six corners, according to BBC Sport.
Visitors Leeds had 71% of the possession, took 14 shots of which two were on target, and earned three corners, according to BBC Sport.
